Flourishing Families was created to do just that – to see families living in deprivation flourish. There are 190,000 families in Leeds living in deprived areas, and we do what we do because all the families that come through our doors matter. We couldn’t have got this far without the work of our staff team, our dedicated volunteers and our generous donors, and we are incredibly grateful to everyone who has helped us make a difference. In 2021 we got to know Abi who came along to one of our Family cookery Clubs. Here is her story.
Did you know that one in five children in the UK don't own their own book? The cost of living crisis is hitting families hard this Winter; particularly for families in the most deprived areas of Leeds where access to books is becoming even more limited.
We are really pleased to play a part in shaping the Leeds Food Strategy.
On the day that the new Prime Minister is announced, Flourishing Families was interviewed as part of BBC Breakfast’s feature on the cost of living crisis.
The cost of living crisis is hitting hard from every angle. Families are facing the impossible choice between putting food on the table and turning the heating on.
